(Please excuse the messy eyebrow hairs.) This is quite a structured eye look using matte shades from Illamasqua, and during the day I wore it with a clear lip balm. I added the Lipstick Queen for this picture because it's a lovely colour for Winter/Autumn, it's a nice alternative to a red lip and I like a brownish lip with a purple eye; it's not a typical combination but I think it does work quite well.
Blush/contour: Illamasqua Primal (pale grey/beige.)
Eyes: Illamasqua Succumb (peachy ivory) all over, Fatal (blue-purple) on lid, Truth (plum brown) in crease and under lower lashes. Sophie (black) eye pencil on upper lashline, Vow (cream) pencil on lower waterline.
Brows: Illamasqua Gaze (dark slate grey) eyebrow cake.
Lips: Lipstick Queen Sinner lipstick in Berry, a berry with brown tones.

I really like this look on you. My eyes are quite deep set so I am scared of matte eyeshadow but seeing this on you really makes me want to give it a go too.
ReplyDeletea striking look and it really suits you

Hi OC - yes, I have v deep set eyes too, with quite a lot of mobile lid showing. It's not a subtle look, but it's fun. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Amina - thank you :)
This looks fab - I wish I could carry off colours like this!
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you. I like that combination of purple and berry.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great look and the colours are very flattering on you. I love deep colours. It is torture seeing all the great Illamasqua on the blogs and not having it in Canada, although we can order from Sephora, NY.
ReplyDeleteSpa Travellers are going on a jaunt in the New Year to a store specializing in niche make-up lines and HAULING Lipstick Queen lipsticks. Can't wait. Love the colour in your post, beautiful!!
Hi Mizzworthy - thank you! It's one of the few benefits of having very neutral colouring and sludge coloured eyes! ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Ammie! I think of you whenever I wear this lipstick, I love it. x
Hi Anna - oh, I can't wait to read all about it - sounds like a fun but dangerous trip ;) The Berry shade is lovely, it's nice in the Saint formulation too.
